It's Beartato and Reginald! Sitting together on my front stoop. They belong to nedroid. Go check his page: [link]

Obviously this is technically fan art but I can't find 'textiles' under the fan art category. What's with that? Only 2D fan art?

Anyway.

One day I woke up feeling very antsy to make something really hands-on but Fimo just wasn't appealing. So I pulled out my wool and needle felting tools and grabbed some ref pics off nedroid's page and made these lovely two fellows! They only took a day each. They have pipe cleaner structures underneath and are stuffed with dryer lint, but the rest is wool. Reginald, the blue/purplish bird guy, is nearly 6 in. (15 cm) tall when he stands up straight and Beartato, the bear/potato thing, is just over 4 in. (10 cm).

I very pleased with how they came out. They're hanging out together on my desk now.

Oh my gosh the little felty animals are the best. You did such an excellent job on making them, they look really perfect. I really love how you did their expressions, very fun. You did such a good job on all their little shapes such as Beartato's nose and chin and Reginald's beak. I am so terrible at making things like this. Seeing them makes me really happy.

That's sort of why I wanted to take up knitting eventually, since it promotes just letting your mind wander when you're stressed out with other things. Maybe that's something I should think of doing after I drop the writing for a little while...
